![]() ![]() If someone is interested, please let me know. I was so freaking proud and excited when I saw 'Starting MS-DOS' appearing on the screen! □ With this program and an image writing tool, I got my gotek floppy drive The past few days I've been programming my The only thing I could come up with is writing my own tool. It left me with a somewhat unusable gotek floppydrive. So, my conclusion is, ipcas software writes images to the disk, but then screws a lot of bytes. Could it be the combination of Ipcas' software and windows 10 (64-bits)? Who With a hex-editor I compared the first megabyte or so of the files and some differences showed up! □ Don't It kept complaining about the fact the image wasn't bootable. Wrote this on the flashdrive again and booted up the Pentium. Thinking it could be the image, I downloaded another (bootable/setup) image from the internet, with a Stopped giving the error 'Non system disk' or something like that. The first disk should boot the msdos 6.22 setup, but instead in Inserted the flash drive in my good old Pentium. Added some disks to the usb-stick according to the explanation of Phil's video and Thanks Phil! Ipcas' software seemed to be a nice tool to manage the images on my usb-stick, so Thanks to Philscomputerlab I knew where to find software to fill my Happy end you wouldīut now comes the strange part. This thing and voila, my machine accepted the drive and drive accepted USB-sticks. But, as resourceful and patient I am, I kept fooling around with First of all I managed to connect the device the wrong way, It's a long story and if you skip this, I can't blame you. Me a while to get this d*mn thing working. This subject interests me a lot, since I too have bought a gotek floppy drive - and I must say, it took I also have visited this forum on a regular basis and decided I should make an account. It's slow, but better than using crappy software (which is knocked of from Ipcas) that came with it. After that, you can send your floppy images or files into the stick just by using regular software (like rawrite or winimage for images and basic dos copy command or any file manager for files.). Pushing both selector buttons at the same time while powering the PC up, starts formatting the connected USB stick. Just for the sake of correctness, Gotek drives actually can be managed quite fine without any software. Alternatively, you can replace the firmware by a third party one (from the guys that make the HxC floppy emulator - another, more advanced, floppy emulator) and use image files instead of partitions, though, but you won't directly see the files in the USB drive. You need to use an specific software to transfer disk images to the USB drive. ![]() No, they don't make the PC think the contents of the USB drive are on a floppy like that: the USB stick must be partitioned and formatted correctly through a specific software, then each partition is seen as a floppy, and you chose the active one through the buttons on the thing itself. Just put GoTek on the search bars and you'll see plenty of discussion about those. ![]()
